Roarsome free fun for all the family this summer at The Square

The summer holidays are fast approaching, and many families will be starting to pencil dates in the diary to keep the kids entertained!
It can be quite a struggle trying to find days out for all the family which don’t cost a fortune! But it seems The Square have it sorted with their free Dino Live animatronic exhibition!

The Camberley based shopping centre is inviting all the family to have their own prehistoric adventure, with six life-sized animatronic dinosaurs waiting to be discovered throughout the summer holidays.

Arriving on Thursday 25th July right through to Sunday 1st September, the centre is recruiting Camberley’s finest little explorers challenging families to pick up a trail-guide from The Square’s Customer Service desk and go in search to track down the dinosaurs hiding within the centre.
Whilst coming face to face with these prehistoric creatures, The Square is inviting families to fill out their fact-finding dinosaur questionnaire – found in the trail guide, for the chance to win a £100 gift card to spend at the centre! Completed trail guides will also see children aged 3- 12 win a dinosaur stationary bundle!
The fun continues with arts and crafts workshops taking place throughout August. Please see full list below:

Joana Santos, Marketing Manager at The Square Camberley, said: “We understand it can be challenging to try and keep the kids entertained throughout the summer holidays and we’re therefore thrilled to be able to offer some free fun and educational event for all the family with six life-sized dinosaurs coming here to The Square! Alongside tracking down the hidden dinosaurs, there’s lots of additional activities children can take part in, from dinosaur pottery sessions to Surrey Heath Museum’s Geology workshop.”

Joana continued: “Families are set to be amazed with the prehistoric dinosaurs ready to impress with their movement, blinking of eyes and roaring! Children will also have the chance to learn some interesting facts along the way with each dinosaur being replicated in their natural environment.”
